Scholarship Guide - Online Application
Ivy Tech Community College Southeast and Ivy Tech Foundation are pleased to offer scholarship opportunities for local students enrolled in classes at the Madison and Lawrenceburg campuses and the Batesville instructional site. You may pick up a Scholarship Guide Booklet listing all scholarships available in the Office of Financial Aid. An application is included on the last page of the booklet; or you may apply online.
Many of these scholarships are awarded during the summer for the following academic school year: fall and spring terms. We recommend you submit your complete application by April 10. Please make sure you are aware of each scholarship's eligibility requirements.
Most (but not all) awards are based in part on demonstrated financial need. Thus, you should file the FAFSA (free Application for Federal Student Aid) for the current academic year to determine your financial need. Your application will be reviewed to establish eligibility for specific scholarships based on their respective criteria and funds available.
Please note some of these scholarships might not be available due to changes in funding by the donors. Also, the decision of the scholarship committee is final and is confidential.
If you have been awarded a scholarship you will be notified by mail or by your Ivy Tech email account.
